Partners With Reality-XP For Package Suitable For Home, Basic
ATD Users
ELITE told ANN this week the simulator provider intends to
release its long-awaited Garmin GNS 430 Enhancement Package (EP)
for its ELITE Premium ELITE Core, and ELITE Basic ATD software this
fall.
Billed as "the most requested feature for our software for
several years" by ELITE, the Garmin 430 upgrade marks a departure
from previous practice for the sim maker. "We have placed real
Garmin equipment in our high-end trainers for many years but were
reluctant to undertake such an expensive and time-consuming project
for our home and Basic ATD users," ELITE said. "When we discovered
the high quality GPS developed by Reality-XP, a strategic
partnership was inevitable. Their attention to detail and accuracy
of their work far exceeded our expectations."
By integrating Reality-XP's GNS 430 software into ELITE and
providing "hands on" control, the company managed to create an
effective GPS training platform in the most cost-effective
manner.
The ELITE GNS 430 Control Module is required to use the GPS. The
Enhancement Package (EP) will consist of ELITE Version 8.5 software
and the GNS 430 Control Module. The Control Module will also be
sold as stand-alone equipment for new software purchases. The GNS
430 module can be combined with other AP4000 avionics modules to
create a custom avionics suite.
Pricing and availability has not yet been released. ELITE
invites anyone interested in the new package to visit their exhibit
at EAA Airventure Oshkosh, booths D4020 & D4021 to see the EP
in action.
